Abstract/Summary

Most of the studies regarding responses to disasters focused only on women and families. The current study explored the cognitive appraisal process-which involves primary appraisal, secondary appraisal- and coping responses of Filipino male victims during and after typhoon Ondoy. To be able to get hold of their experiences, the researchers employed qualitative method in which data were gathered through interview and participants were grouped under four categories: young and old with high SES and young and old with low SES to find out if there are distinctions in relation with their appraisals and coping strategies. However, the result of the study suggested that men shared the same appraisals and coping strategies despite differences in age and SES.
